The prevalence of diabetes and cancer is on the rise, leading to financial and mortality tolls. The increase in cancer cases among younger Americans is particularly alarming. Firms like ASML and Novo Nordisk are driven by US demand for their products. The weight loss drug industry, including the new drug Zepbound, is expected to grow, but concerns about costs and access remain. Obesity is causally linked to heart disease and cancer, with a surge in bowel cancer deaths among young adults due to obesity and alcohol consumption.
Obesity and binge drinking are causing a surge in bowel cancer among young British adults, research shows ⬇️ https://t.co/3dffe2xyck
Obesity and physical inactivity have resulted in a surge of bowel cancer death rates. Among those aged 25 to 49, death rates for bowel cancer are predicted to increase by 39% in women and 26% in men in 2024. We must keep investing in research and promoting healthier lifestyle.
Obesity and alcohol are driving up bowel cancer cases among young people in the UK, researchers have warned. NHS Doctor @SoniaAdesara says it is because "As a population we are becoming more unhealthy". https://t.co/PAiZ4D1jU3 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube https://t.co/0Alhu3dnI5

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that so many people care about obesity now and provide it with long-overdue attention. However, I don’t want to keep reading revisionist history published by certain companies. We’ve medically treated obesity for over a decade—where have you been? https://t.co/7POa8bk3r4

I echo Dr. Cohen’s sentiment. We need to stop creating false choices. Obesity can be prevented and treated at the same time. The idea that we can only do one and not the other is preposterous. https://t.co/BxzHZqSqvV
There is no reason to say that preventing obesity is more urgent than treating it. Different strategies for each issue. Both important. There are millions of individual needing prevention and treatments https://t.co/rj1p2bCzc3
NC state health plan ends coverage of Wegovy, other weight loss drugs These treatments are extremely effective (and in some, life saving) They're also very expensive Finding a way to keep access without breaking the bank is going to hard -- but critical https://t.co/SnQ9sBlnkz
There is a new drug coming to market — Zepbound. It is going to become the hottest weight loss drug on the market. Early studies have shown people can lose as much as 20% of their body weight using Zepbound. The future is going to get very weird thanks to biotech.
"Obesity is causally linked to heart disease and cancer, but the biggest underacknowledged problem is when several obesity related conditions coexist." Preventing #obesity is different from curing it and even more urgent, argues @scarlettmcnally https://t.co/qHlx6VYdxJ
Kentucky had the highest prescribing rates for drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy last year. Here's where else weight-loss prescriptions are taking off: https://t.co/FbiPYPNKC4
The head of the World Health Organization says we are doomed to rising rates of diabetes, but we're not, argues science journalist Gary Taubes in his major new book, "Rethinking Diabetes." We just have to radically rethink the role of diet in creating overweight, obesity, and… https://t.co/ZpB2g1XvwJ
The $100 billion-plus weight loss drug industry is still primed for growth — just not at the expense of medical device and food and beverage stocks. https://t.co/7cuNPIeo7N
ASML makes lasers which make chips for US firms Novo Nordisk makes GLP1s for obese Americans (and others) Those two firms wouldn’t be one the list without US demand. https://t.co/YnYH9J3f5y
